韓國：朝鮮軍隊大規模集結

South Korean officials say the North has assembled troops, ships and aircraft for what is expected to be a large-scale military exercise.Officials, speaking on condition they not be named, have told South Korean media that MiG-21 fighter jets and about 20 naval vessels have assembled since last week at two bases in the Yellow Sea. Other sources told VOA a simulated coastal landing could begin as soon as Wednesday.

韓國官員說，朝鮮集結部隊、軍艦和戰機，預計會展開一場大規模軍事演習。不愿具名的韓國官員對韓國媒體說，自上周以來，朝鮮在黃海的兩個基地集結了米格-21戰斗機和大約20艘海軍艦艇。其他消息來源告訴美國之音，一場沿海登陸演習可能很快在星期三開始。

Government officials are quoted as saying they are watching the build-up carefully, but so far there is no reason to believe North Korea is planning anything more than a drill.Analysts say the North typically conducts military exercises at this time of year, but simultaneous maneuvers involving air, sea and land forces are unusual.

韓國政府官員說，他們在謹慎關注朝鮮的軍事集結，但到目前為止還沒有理由相信朝鮮有演習以外的計劃。分析人士說，朝鮮通常在每年這個時候進行軍事演習，但海陸空部隊同時演習并不尋常。
